The living state itself depends on the prior existence of biopolymers (such as RNA and DNA) which were themselves not produced by abiotic processes.

On today's episode, enjoy the second half of a discussion between philosopher of science Dr. Steven Meyer and synthetic organic chemist Dr. James Tour about the origin of life and the explanatory power of intelligent design. The conversation, hosted by Peter Robinson, transitions from the "dead end" of current origin of life research to the crucial concept of information. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 1 in a separate episode. We’re grateful to the producers of Uncommon Knowledge for permission to share this conversation here.

How did life originate? Does Darwin’s theory of evolution have an answer for the origin of life? On this ID The Future, enjoy the first half of an insightful conversation between philosopher of science Dr. Stephen Meyer and synthetic organic chemist Dr. James Tour as they unravel important issues around the origin of life. Dr. Tour is a professor at Rice University, renowned for his work in nanotechnology and his skepticism toward the current scientific models explaining the origin of life. Dr. Meyer is author of Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design. The pair are interviewed by Peter Robinson, host of Uncommon Knowledge. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode.

We are Children of Light and Water: Dr. Michael Denton

On this episode of ID the Future from the vault, biochemist and medical doctor Michael Denton continues his conversation with host Sarah Chaffee about his book Children of Light: The Astonishing Properties of Sunlight That Make Life Possible, part of his Privileged Species book series that also includes The Miracle of Man, The Miracle of the Cell, The Wonder of Water, and Fire-Maker. Here, Dr. Denton speaks of the properties of both light and water. From photosynthesis to metabolism to circulation, and even from plate tectonics to the hydrologic cycle, both have exactly what it takes — in “amazingly fortuitous” ways — to make complex organic life possible. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation.

After a successful event in Spokane, we are excited to announce that Intelligent Design Education Day is coming to Tacoma, Washington! The theme — Creepy Crawly Complexity — returns this fall, inviting students to explore the incredible world of “creepy crawlies,” with special presentations and videos on insects and spiders (from the phylum Arthropoda), earthworms (Annelida), and roundworms (Nematoda). While learning about the complexity and diversity of these fascinating creatures, we’ll consider important questions like… Why are creepy crawlies so abundant and diverse? Where did they all come from? What does it take to design and build a “simple” worm? What is the implication of finding unique code in the genome of each type of creepy …
